The wedding is STRICT on timeframe. Guests are to arrive at the chapel and begin seating at 2:40pm. The Ceremony begins at 3pm SHARP. Gov. issued Real ID/passport are needed. Everyone must use the shuttle from the hotel to get to the ceremony. The shuttle and driving is your only option for getting onto the yard/to the Chapel. Please be on time as the shuttle will leave early due to it being subject to searches upon entry of Gate 8. Due to current wartime conditions any one entering onto USNA will need to have a 5512 (background check) completed. This will be requested in May/June. The ceremony will end at 3:30pm and there will be absolutely no re-entry into the Chapel. Bathrooms are located outside of the Chapel in the Gate House. No alcohol at all on the yard. No photos, water/food or large bags allowed in the Chapel. After the ceremony you will exit through Gate 3 and it is a 0.5 mile walk to the reception. Along the way there are many watering holes to enjoy and experience.
